The book MySpace Safety: 51 Tips for Teens and Parents has been reviewed by Top 500 Amazon.com reviewer Beth Cholette. Beth begins her review with:
In this book, authors Kevin and Dale Farnham--whose daughter was one of the original members of myspace.com--have created a comprehensive guide to the entire MySpace web domain. In addition to offering specific safety tips, the authors guide the reader step-by-step through each facet of myspace.com. For parents, this is an excellent overview of the site, and the book will likely increase their awareness of MySpace's various functions, settings, and possible risks for their children.
She doubts that many teens will be interested in what we have to say, but agrees with
... the basic tenet that the best way to keep kids safe is for parents to be well-informed. Therefore, I do recommend this book for parents of teens who are already or who plan to become MySpace users, as it is an excellent means for parents to thoroughly acquaint themselves with this particular online phenomenom.
We did title the book "for Teens and Parents," but clearly it is the parents who must teach their teens about safety issues. And parents cannot possibly do that unless they are very knowledgeable about the site their teens are using. That's how our book ended up being 184 pages long. We wanted to cover every aspect of MySpace.
The book really is the only available, comprehensive guide to MySpace. If you want to know about what the MySpace.com site offers, please consider our book. We worked very hard on making it comprehensive! Chapters are available to be read at the publisher site.
